You mean to say that those of us - like yours Inquisitively - who work on Christmas this year shall be bereft of such carnal levities that help ease their workload?

I was just perusing a weird quote collection. Ponder this:

I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, backroom best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

We also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other
cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. (Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere).

Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishees.

-OR-

Let's put aside our pointy sticks and lead-launchers, and play a game of football, and share our C-Rations. :)

Fond best wishes to all, and warm regards.

I always thought it was done to save the servers.

After all, many more of us are off, have time, and the zapping of posts would slag the thing.

Besides, wasn't all the charm of the Christmas Truce its spontaneity?
